    116-112 Canelo.
    Canelo wins the fight and Lara wins the foot race.

    116-112 Canelo.

    I gave Lara the first 3 rounds and then one maybe two after. I thought Canelo did well forcing Lara into a shell at times making him fight negative.

    The fight was there for Lara to win but he let himself down with his lack of activity.

    Very good fight though imo, I enjoyed it but I wouldn't want to see a rematch.

    I had it 117 - 111. Lara did not fight and when he did he threw baby punches, hell, a woman can hit much harder that Lara "The Coward". One left by Alvarez did more damage than all of Lara's punches put together............Lara was running like a hell.....................he was afraid to fight................you have to land punches to win a fight......................you could hear Alvarez' body punches, but you could not hear Lara's baby punches...........Lomachenko moved, but he also fought, he used lateral movement, the only thing Lara did was run, track & field. Lara deserved to lose, the only one fighting was Alvarez. I dare anyone to criticize Vladimir Klitschko for using his jab and knocking people out...................

    I had it 115-113 Lara. It could of went either way though, Canelo just struggles against boxers that don't go toe to toe with him and I wasn't impressed with him.

    115-113 Lara.
    Close fight and have no issue with Canelo getting the W as there were plenty of tight rounds.
